delicate arch

The natural arches in this area first began forming around 300 million years ago (during the Paleozoic era), as tectonic activity, as well as wind and water erosion carved away salt deposits on top of sandstone. There are over 2000 beautiful arches in this scenic park, (more than in any concentrated area in the world) all of which, according to scientists, may be completely eroded away in the future.
